Now you have a grasp of the basic concepts - top level window, layout
containers, widgets and signals - you might want to look at
GTK+ composite templates in Vala.

You write a GtkBuildable UI file (XML in an editor or using Glade).
This lets you group your windows/dialogs with their child widgets and
identify the signals. You then use GResource to embed the UI files and
the [GtkTemplate], [GtkChild] and [GtkCallback] attributes in Vala to
wire up the UI code. For an example see:
